Who is Harriet Cowan? Kaleb Cooper’s replacement on Clarkson’s Farm
The show, which charts the day-to-day life of Jeremy Clarkson’s farm based in the Cotswolds, is back for its fourth series on Amazon Prime.
Harriet Cowan, a 24-year-old full time nurse and farmer from Derbyshire is joining the cast to replace Cooper – who will be touring the country following his newfound fame from the show.
In the trailer for the new series, Jeremy Clarkson explains that while he is happy for Kaleb, the farm manager has left him “slightly in the lurch” by swanning off around the UK.
But who is Clarkson’s latest star and what will she bring to the show?
Harriet Cowan is a 24-year-old woman who is both a dab hand on the farm and a highly qualified nurse.
She has picked both careers after being inspired by both of her parents, whom she remains close to.
Her mum worked as a nurse who hoped her daughter would follow in her footsteps, while her father runs the family farm and hoped Harriet would grow up to help him.
She picked both and in 2023, she graduated from the University of Derby where she studied nursing.
Now, the farmer-slash-She works full time in the nursing role, but has always helped her father out – and is known for campaigning for farmer’s rights.
She was previously named her town’s Young Farmers’ spokesperson and continues to use social media to highlight the realities of working on a farm.
Despite initially admitting she had never watched Clarkson’s Farm before joining, Harriet appeared to quickly get stuck in on Diddly Squat farm, helping to tend to animals and even erect fences.
Cowan is active on social media, with around 35,000 followers on TikTok and a growing Instagram presence and used her platform to confirm her role on Clarkson’s Farm by posting the trailer with the caption: “Ekkkk something exciting is coming on the 23rd of may.”
Who is Harriet Cowan with?
Cowan is reportedly in a relationship with fellow farmer James Booth, who appears to share her passion for agriculture and appears regularly on her Instagram and social media accounts.
The couple attended the Farmers Protest in London together in November 2024, where thousands gathered to protest against planned agricultural inheritance taxation policies.
At the protest, Cowan joined Clarkson on Parliament Square, advocating for farmers’ rights and highlighting the importance of British agriculture.
When is Clarkson’s Farm series four out?
The new series will continue showing the farm on a day-to-day basis and will also follow Clarkson as he attempts to open a pub as part of his Farm to Fork restaurant vision.
The fourth series will be made up of eight episodes, which will have a staggered release over three weeks. The first four episodes will drop on Amazon Prime on May 23, followed by two more on May 30 and the final two on June 6.
